Hadn't been to the club in awhile (since the untimely retirement of my ATF last year), but I had some rare Saturday night time available and thought I'd see if anything had changed. Pulled up…

Hadn't been here in awhile, and I needed an inexpensive place to hang for a couple hours, so I stopped by Christies. Plenty of parking out front, walk in through the double doors, greeted by…

Hadn't been here in a minute, thought I'd stop by and hope for the best. Tight parking lot, I prefer one of the side spots by the fence separating the club from McDonalds t lessen…

Typical Saturday. Even though the sign out front says, "Open at 11" don't even think about getting in until noon. Weekend bouncer at the door is a nice kid, but frankly, everyone is friendly here.…

A rare evening available, after visiting Essex and seeing no one of interest to me, I drove to Band-Aids. Got there and the parking lot was completely filled, both the spots on the side of…

After a successful first and second visit here, I stopped by Wednesday evening (about 8 PM) to see what the club would be like on a weekday evening, and hopefully meet up with some of…

Afternoon visit. Plenty of parking, no cover charge. Normally, I don't get carded or patted down here, but today a new bouncer I hadn't seen before was manning the front station so he asked for…

Early Friday afternoon. Club nominally opens at 11, but in reality 11-12 is the drop off time for all the Cuban dancers and few customers are in the place yet. As always no cover in…

Pull into a (mostly) empty parking lot about 6:45. Sign out front that says, "Reserved Tables $100." Lol! As if. No cover yet, doorman waves me in. Find a table, order a Coke ($6). Not…
